AMERICAN BRANDS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT...5

And finally to wrap up this 5-part series looking back at some American brands which went belly up, we feature Oldsmobile. My opinion of most Oldsmobile models is bland. Besides the Toronado, nothing else really stood out about this brand. Take a look from 1957 until they closed the doors in 2004...bland bland & more bland!
